Working on the weekend

Most of our blog readers are aware that our house is still a work in progress.  Here is a picture of Tony putting some finishing touches on the trim around our big window in the foyer of our home.


What is different now having a baby, is that we have extra help!  Lenna is so curious about everything and loves to get INTO everything.  We love that girl though, what a fun personality she has.

Happy (Belated) 9 Month Old Birthday Lenna + Well Baby Check

Last Monday Lenna turned 9 months old.  Wow how time has flown.  She has now been outside of the 'womb' as long as she was in it.  Today we had Lenna's 9 month well baby check.  Lenna had a slight ear infection in her left ear it was a bit red.  That probably explains why she has been waking up at night a little more this week.  She prescribed an antibiotic and everything should be good to go after we are done giving her that.


Here are her stats:
Height:  28 1/2 inches long (82nd %-tile)
Weight:  18 lbs 7 oz (42nd %-tile)
Head Circumference:  45 cm (78th %-tile)

Tony and I took today off to hang with our girl and here are some pictures of her from today:

A day at the (Children's) Museum

Lenna and Mommy met up with two other Mommies last Sunday at the Children's Museum in St. Paul.  We had a great time and Lenna enjoyed hanging out with the two other boys Cole & Levi.  They were both born in January as well.

Who needs toys?

Who needs toys to play with? Lenna is happy with a cardboard box and a gift bag. Check out how much better balance she is getting. Such a big girl huh?

1st Night Away from Mommy & Daddy

Lenna had her first overnight visit away from Mom and Dad last night.  She went to stay with Grandma & Grandpa Peterson.  She also got to have a sleepover with her cousin Jordyn.  Lenna was a good girl and had a good time away.  She is getting more independent and brave.  We think that first step may be coming in the very near future!
